About

Welcome to the Kings and Things Channel! This is a place where I share various things that I've been looking into and find interesting. Usually that involves historical people, historical architecture, or historical media that bridges that gap between past and present.

Video Description

In the spring of 1842, a wealthy scholar and artist called Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey embarked on a grand tour of the Eastern Mediterranean. With the use of his camera, a technology that had been released to the public just three years before, he documented the local sites and people, and created a collection of photos that in many cases are the earliest to survive of the countries depicted. In this video, we’ll use Girault de Prangey’s collection of photographs to retrace his journey, and discover the world of the Eastern Mediterranean as it looked almost two hundred years ago. → MUSIC Piano Concerto no. 1 in E minor, Op. 11 - II.
